	Description:		Tune in for potentially the most controversial program yet! Is God to be found exclusively within, or can someone look to the night sky and pray to a God "out there" with equal effect? What about prayer for others-if God is only within us, what good does it do to offer prayer for someone else's healing, help or encouragement? When we talk to God, are we really talking to ourselves? And if we are talking to ourselves, how far is that idea from the claims of philosophical atheists like Christopher Hitchens, whose latest book is titled God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything? Guests will include Rev. Dr. Paul Hasselbeck, dean of Unity's Spiritual Education and Enrichment program, and KartaPurkh Khalsa-who is a senior member of the Sikh religious community of Kansas City. Join Rev. Dr. Shepherd and his panel as they discuss a workable theology of prayer in this postmodern world.
